We had an amazing experience during our 4 night stay in the Xianlai inn (idle inn) in Dali. We were hosted by a wonderful couple that went above and beyond typical hotel hospitality. They met all our requests ( eg fixing our showering hose when the water output was too low, helping to extend our stay for 2 more night when our friend experienced health issues etc).
We were a group of 5 travellers and they tried their best to provide the largest available rooms for us during our extension. They also gave very good food recommendations (these restaurants were clean and hygienic. The staff were nice and the food was delicious)
A friend of ours injured (tipsy) himself from a fall in the hotel room late into the night. We informed them and they immediately helped us get taxi to the hospital and the husband even travelled to the hospital to help with us with communications with the local medical staff.
When our friend came back to the hotel the wife even provided homemade food for him as he had no appetite.
Would highly recommend this inn to all visitors to dali for a comfortable and wonderful stay.
You can also get them to order bus shuttle services for u to other locations like lijiang and shangri la
Other info: (bed is comfortable, rooms were spacious and clean, plenty of drinking water, )

The inn is very beautiful, it is a 100 year old house, at the center of the town so it is very convenient to go visit all places. The owner is also very helpful, he helped pick up/deliver our luggages to the street where we got dropped off/departed. He also helped us to reserve seats for shared car to the next destination and answered any questions that we have (via translation apps or wechat). Everyone in the inn is friendly, highly recommended for staying in Shaxi.

Shaxi is a gem of Yunnan, a must visit in yunnan, and this hotel is ideal for exploring it as it sits right in it. The host family is very humble and nice people. The place is very beautiful, clean. The continental breakfast made by host lady was the best we had, even better than high end hotel we stayed before. They organized our transport on check out too. We will definitely return to this place again. Highly recommend.

Cute family owned hotel, super great price, location is right next to Dali Ancient Town and transport to Lijiang bus stop is 3 min away.
Standout was the absolute amazing service I received, especially from Joy. She warmly welcomed me and spoke a little bit of English, which helped a lot.
I had ideas about what I wanted to do, and she immediately knew what how to go about it with the time I had, where were the best places, how to get there, which places were the best spots etc. she even then went an extra mile and helped me organise activities in Lijiang that would have not been possible with my limited Chinese, and kept in contact with me even after I left the hotel
Truly made the experience one to remember, thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness, definitely recommend everyone to come for a stay!

The CO value is high and the location is very good. Although you can't drive to the door, it only takes 5 minutes to walk in. Seeing that it was difficult to move our luggage, they helped us move to the first floor. The courtyard and room layout are clearly thoughtful and very beautiful. Due to the limited space of the old house, the room and bathroom are relatively small, but they are sufficient. Moreover, we like its space and location very much. It is more comfortable to sleep with an electric blanket! There are many tea rooms in the public space, and there are also delicious free refreshments and tea. It is very fun for friends to have dinner in the tea room together! I also highly recommend Weishan, a simple, beautiful and non-commercial city!

The courtyard of the B&B is very exquisite. There is a large tank for raising turtles, brocade, scattered succulent pine needles, and many traditional orchids. I really love it~ The room has a good orientation, clean and tidy, facing the mountain view, and the morning sun will shine in, which is quite healing. The room space is still relatively large, the toilet is divided into dry and wet areas, and the automatic heating toilet in winter is also a plus. For breakfast for two days, I had rice noodles once and rice noodles once. The boss lady cooked a warm homely taste, and my family liked it very much. It’s a pity that I didn’t have time to experience the tea table. It’s very cost-effective and recommended~

Great hotel at a great price. Bed and balcony is facing Erhai as seen in the photos.
Amenities are very good such as uninterrupted hot water and a good warm breakfast made by Bai clan aunty. They clean your room everyday if you request it.
But the best thing is their service! They offered many tips to us such as local buses which reduces our transport costs from CNY100+ to CNY20. They also took the initiative to give free fruits when they saw us buying strawberries back from the old town!

Thank you so much for the best hospitality! Great and kind owner. She is so friendly and patiently waiting for me to translate the conversation. The lady also has a great personality. To all Malaysian who might see my review and don't know Chinese, this lady has no issue with it. This Inn is a really high recommendation since the distance with the main road to the hotel (Easy to get Didi), distance to ancient town, and distance to Erhai Lake are so close (by electric bike)! The owner helped me to rent an electric bike at ¥50 for a few hours (I'm not sure how long I forgot to ask) - electric bike no need helmet, no need license! (🎶Ride or die - Jeff Satur)

SSam AussiOur stay at this mini hotel near Erhai Lake was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. The hospitality was outstanding, with the owner and their friends and family creating a beautiful evening gathering that we will never forget. The delicious noodles, fruits and the morning Pu'er tea were delightful touches that added to the overall experience.
The hotel itself is new and beautifully designed, blending modern amenities with the rich traditions of a courtyard setting. The rooms were immaculate, superbly clean, and very comfortable, equipped with everything a traveler could need. They even helped us park our car nearby, which was very convenient.
The star of it all was the wonderful lady owner. She was always ready to jump up and help with whatever we needed. We don't speak Chinese, but communication was easy using online translation. In the morning owner took us for a walk near Erhai Lake, which was a memorable highlight of our stay.
The location of the hotel is perfect, situated between the rice fields and the lake shore, just a one-minute walk to the boardwalk along the lake. We left feeling amazed and recharged, and we sincerely hope that our travels will bring us back to this wonderful hotel near Dali ancient city again.

SSiu QuanWe rented the Garden Deluxe Room, with a mountain view. We find the description and pictures were accurately advertised, and the service was impeccable. We were very pleased with our rental, as it was private, clean and orderly. The hotel is conveniently located within the Dali Ancient Town, close to Biai Road and Renmin Road intersection (see picture of map). The morning and night views from the terrace were stunning. The Dali Ancient Town is as lively as you would imagine, with tons of food and shopping options. Our experience in Dali was awesome, with it's majestic mountains, beautiful lake, vibrant towns and peaceful villages.
However, the best part of this stay was our interactions with the hotel owners, who are a lovely couple. They are good people - very kind, helpful and approachable. Although we had to use an English to Mandarin translation app for most of our conversations, they were patient and made recommendations that we really enjoyed. They helped us book a tour of Erhai Lake and we had a wonderful time sightseeing with the bus tour company (highly recommended if you don't know where to start exploring). We also took their scooter bike to explore the Three Pagodas on our own and drove around the lake afterwards. Please consider renting their scooter bike, as it was super fun and the price is very affordable. As language is a barrier for us, they not only helped us book our ride to Lijiang, but they also gave us a hotel recommendation, which their son runs. To us, they are very trustworthy, so we're sure we will have another pleasant stay in Lijiang.
After all, it's not how clean the hotel is, or how beautiful the surroundings are, it's the people we meet along the way that makes it a wonderul trip experience. If there is another hotel rating for overall hotel experience, it would be a 10/5 for us. The owners definitely made our short stay very comfortable and our adventures amazing - thank you so much! We would definitely come back to this hotel if we are in this area again!

HHui Yi (慧怡)I am sooo happy with my stay. Their service was probably the best out of every hotel I’ve stayed in. The owner was very very helpful. He was also really open to sharing where to go and tips to get around. Location wise, it’s a bit further from the main attraction but you get a quiet stay away from the bustling street which is also within walking distance. Walking around gave me a chance to appreciate the town a little more. Veryyyyy clean, owner checks in with you if you’d like your room to be cleaned via WeChat. Overall, it’s a warm little stay operated by a family~ will definitely be going back again!

WWiing LiuAmazing view! Direct sunset view!
We stayed one night in August (Summer).
Pillow, blanket and bed were comfortable.
Toilet was humble.
Very kind and hard working hotel owner (well dressed and handsome too). He was very communicative, we added him on WeChat and he gave us detailed instructions and picked us up at the fork road, carried our luggages and walked us to the accommodation.
The accommodation is about 10-15 minutes walk to the main road where cars are allowed to drop off. We had huge and heavy luggage. We are extremely grateful that the owner lugged our luggage to the accommodation under the hot sun for us. He upgraded our room, and helped us to book a reliable driver to lijiang. He gave us tips on where to have breakfast and rent buggy. He also helped to liaise with the driver and carried our luggage to the car!!! It's 34 degrees Celsius here at the moment. We are so so grateful. Wishing the owner great success!
Recommendation:
1. Stay on the second floor onwards (less noisy and able to see the lake better)
2. Explore the track before the sun rises above the mountain (ard 6am). Walk 700m left of accommodation to book your vehicle. This will ensure you have enough vehicles to choose from, less crowded, avoid extreme UV, cooling weather, and get to Xin di cafe at a good time for breakfast!
3. Night time order meituan to accommodation so you can enjoy the view and eat at the comfort of your place. Couldn't find good and reliable restaurants around the area.
4. Manage expectations, there are bugs near the lake. Close the window at night.

They were suprised that we (foreigners) could find out their homestay. You can chat with them via wechat (weixin) for any help and check out. They support late check out if possible. The room meets our expectation for low budget travelers. Beautiful garden, friendly cats, a little bit old smell of old house but it does not affect our good experience. Thanks for the warm welcome!

I have stayed in several in Dali and Kunming, and this one is better than the others, and it is the only one where the TV can be turned on. 🤩🤩 Nothing to say, if friends come, I will recommend it. There is also a restaurant nearby that is also very delicious. I recommend them together👍👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

Hosting
Friendly and smiley. Took up bags without asking. Answer questions over wechat. Even the other guests were friendly! Usually Chinese visitors don't really speak to me (which is fine of course), but the girls I shared a room with even asked me to dinner with them and shared food
Location
The pictures they have down for the exterior, it's actually to the left of that. walking distance to the ancient village and chongsheng temple. easy trips to the lake.
Amenities
Fridge, washing machine, hair dryer, shoe dryer, toiletries, kitchen area etc. all included. There's like a communal courtyard area as well and I believe you can eat there too but you need to book it the day before by a certain time.
Bathroom
Sit down toilet. Shower. Toiletries. Looks a bit shabby at first glance but the shower toilet and sink are all working and very clean
Room
Lovely thick mattress (I've found they are usually quite thin in Chinese hostels so this was a nice surprise). Heater if needed. I'm not entirely sure how the lock on the door is supposed to be done.
Overall great atmosphere. The pictures look a little bit rough around the edges but its honestly fine and i think I could stay here a while

AAaron CedricI really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The front desk manager was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Although the entrance to the hotel is not as inviting as other hotels, the room itself was very nice. It had all the amenities I would expect, including really nice (seemingly local) loose leaf tea to brew. The wifi was very strong and stable and easy to set up. I also appreciate that the shower had high pressure and hot water. The bed was comfortable too... with the kind of firm mattress that I prefer.
I should note that the location of the hotel is in the modern part of Dali, which is about a 30 minute taxi ride from the old Dali town. If you really want to be close to the Old Town or have picturesque views of the lake, then you should probably choose a different hotel. But what I like about this hotel's location is that it's very near to the train station (I walked from the train station to the hotel with all of my suitcases in about 10-15 minutes; no problem). The hotel is also only about 10-15 walk from the lake, so if you intend to ride a bike around the lake then you can rent a bike near the hotel or near the lake park and then find your route from there. Also, there is a variety of good, affordable restaurants to choose from in the neighborhoods around the hotel, with better prices compared to the touristy restaurants in Old Dali. All in all, I found this hotel to be a good value.

GGuest UserThe hotel is just 3 km from Dali Railway Station.If you are using the train,this hotel is one of the best options. I booked a room facing the lake. The view is awesome. There is a lift. The room and toilet are clean. There are basic amenities like body shower, toothbrush,hair shampoo,comb, mineral water,kettle and tv provided.
I get free breakfast. They serve plain porridge with condiments, boiled egg,steam corn and sweet potatoes,bread and buns,fresh fruits and warm soy milk.The food is yummy and delicious.
Didi is available all the time and easy to assess from the hotel.You may also be greeted by fresh fruit sellers outside the hotel.We do buy some fresh grapes.
The hotel reception Ms Xiao Yang is very friendly and helpful.She helped to book Didi to Muslim restaurant for us.We also asked her for help to order a packed lunch because it was raining and we couldn't get out. Despite her work shift ending,she still waited for us to make sure we were safely back to the railway station. I hope her boss will recognise the hospitality she showed.
I recommend this hotel to tourists. You will not hear the noise outside the hotel during your stay.
Hopefully the management can put the hotel name signboard in english so it is easier for tourists to book Didi. Overall I was satisfied with the room and the warm hospitality the hotel provides.
Thank you so much Ms Xiao Yang for your endless help.
